  • 2 Cor 4:18-5:7 : 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile, we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has prepared us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord. 7 (For we live by faith, not by sight.)
